Home

I love being home! Its official! My roommates are absolutely incredible! Okay so not that shoveling dirt for 10 hours a day four days a week isnt a blast but those girls just never cease to amaze me with pure awesomeness! Im sad cause Shannon isnt home this weekend and Meisha is at her lab most of the day but I love my bed and provo and just being somewhere that I consider home. We moved to a new quarry called Cisco. Its lots of really hard rock. oh fun... but we havnet gotten to the bone layer so like i said its just shoveling dirt...

Jaycee just found out she can quit her second job and shes coming home and Im so excited to have her home with me wooooooooooooo! I love that kid, for sure one of my best friends ever for which I can say is awesome to have her share my room.

Big Girls You Are Beautiful!

Ever heard the songs from MIKA? well he sings big girls you are beautiful... okay anyways its an awesome song the beat just makes you want to dance. My roommates and I were up til almost three this morning so we are so tired were giddy haha. Thats all I have to say... And were a little high off the paint they are using outside on the outside of the house. Coming through the window.. hmmmm well we are thinking of where we can go get our haircut. So id better go find somewhere cheap to go.

Sisters

My parents never gave me a big or little sister so i decided to choose my own. Jaycee and Shannon are two of my roommates that I will have lived with for ten months soon, well Jaycee ditched us for Hawaii for four of those months... anyways Jaycee is my little sister and Shannon is my big sister. I dont think I could have chosen better sisters. Anyways, they are awesome girls who I want to always be around. which is why I wish I worked where I could be home more often... So Jaycee says Im a bad big sister because I keep teasing her about a boy. I think as a big sister I hold the right to tease her. I mean really how boring would it be if I didnt invade her life :) I love that kid though. She is great no matter how awful she thinks I am at any given moment. She is a trip. Now, to find a manhole prince for Shannon so I can tease the big sister :) oh and have "nieces" and "nephews". To my sisters. I LOVE YOU!!

Garden

My roommates have been hard at work trying to make our yard look nice.Fortunately we have done a pretty good job. I think... We pulled up our tulips as they had all bloomed and lost their petals. So we replaced them with vegetables! We have grape, cherry and regular tomatoes, two bell pepper plants, string beans, snow peas, zucchini, butternut squash, and onions. We are excited about them, Ill put pics up one day... But thats just one side, oh and on that side we got a trellis with a climbing clematis, then around the bush we have a rose bush and peonies, across the path we have strawberries! they are starting to grow and there are TONS of them! IM SO EXCITED! to the side of the strawberries we have woolly thyme, and another rose bush. Then on our porch, surrounding our porch swing, we have a bird bath with lavender, delphinium, and small purple filler flowers, then a nice square pot with a mona lisa, columbines and snowdrops with a cute wire fence in the back. Now, to the herb garden, in beautiful hanging baskets we have: cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, lemon balm, chamomile (SP?), oregano, and one more that I just cant remember... anyways we have been busy planting, watering, and growing all of our vegetables! We finally mowed our lawn so it is beautiful! This morning I am working on getting rid of six inches of dirt around our porch so we cah plant our marigolds and brighten our yard even more! Shannon, Jaycee, Meisha, Sabrina and I and of course all our friends really enjoy sitting on the swing enjoying the warmth of the spring sun looking, and smelling!, the beautiful flowers!

Screen of Death

Well, my computer is being a piece of lame. Darn blue screen. Just before the blue screen the fans begin being loud and sounds like a blow dryer. DANG IT! anyways im trying to move all my files to my external hard drive before my computer officially dies. That will be a sad day too. Other than that not alot is happening, I know- my life is boring .... So I finished all my bishop paperwork and have my stake president meeting wednesday and so my mission papers will be on there way and i will know where i am going in a few weeks! AHH! im pretty excited about that. anyways before the blue screen i shall publish this lame post and move on with my life, computerless.

India No More

So life has been pretty crazy. India was in my plans for the summer to study the geology of the Himalaya. Unfortunately after lots of money had been invested I was not sure if it was really what I should be doing. However I could not imagine losing all that money. So anyways I went to campus today and the Geology dept said they would reimburse it all! I was soooooo excited. Now this means my mission papers can go in in TWO WEEKS!! I cannot wait!!!! I wish they were in already but the anticipation of putting them in and getting my call is almost to much to handle! AHHHHHHH its so great! Today has been wonderful. It beautiful outside and im about to go see my big brother and then chaperone a 5th grade fieldtrip. I dont want this day to end. It is incredible. Everything Ive been worrying about is falling into place and I know its a great answer to my prayers. I have had a difficult time trying to figure it all out but its working! Anyways Im going to enjoy this beautiful day outside.

I know its been awhile...

Well I am sitting at a computer at the Moab library waiting for my roommate and her sister to come so we can camp and hike arches tonight and tomorrow. I am way excited as I have officially passed arches national park many times and never gone in. In fact, the site I am working now is justa few miles away. I am excited like I said however I AM EXHAUSTED! We, three other students and myself, have dug up and relocated about 4 tons of dirt. No exaggeration! Anyways my arms are sore my legs are sunburnt, im constantly tired and I stabbed my knee with a dental pick... other than that its been a great week. I have to admit its been alot of manual labor but the hard work really makes me feel like ive accomplished something. anyways my minutes are almost up gotta go. more later :)
